Government Corruption and the effect on Employees

Spare time so here's the follow up.

I checked emails about my previous post by the way. They got the right date but not the right time to relate to their emails. The copy forwarded by the union was burnt in the afternoon. The department emailed me in the morning and said they had already sent a copy to my union. The only possible outcome is my union lied to me and the department lied to me. If people are going to lie can they please get their stories straight. Conspiracy theory not. Conspiracy yes.

Anyway. I complained through the ADCQ (almost 60 pages of detail) and they phoned me asking for additional information. I sent the additional information (ie the discriminatory policy), and they made a decision in favour of the government policy. When I questioned them they stated that they couldn't open the file because it was security protected and their virus scanner wouldn't allow it to be opened.

So they made a decision on a policy that they didn't even look at. Good old Queensland eh.

I suppose I'll have to wait 28 days for a reply like last time. Drag it out if they can.

I'm not expecting much through the qld system and expect to have to go federal so at the moment it's just a game.

The most disapointing thing about all this is that I was naive enough to think that our political system was OK previously, and I was wrong. The present cronyism stated in the media is just the tip of the iceburg. Fitzgerald is right, having legislation is one thing, having a government that upholds its legislation is a totally different story.

Decisions can not be made for the "greater good" by individuals when those decisions ignore legislation. If legislation needs to be changed or be more flexible, it needs to be written into the legislation. Human beings are generally self serving, it is only the system of government that can serve the greater good, and to do so it must be open and accountable.

Close the doors to decisons and you close the doors to accountability.

I suppose this isn't a health issue any more. It's a philosophical discussion.

If government employees knows that they are breaking the law through their actions, should the government pay off the complainant or discipline the empoyees?

Should the possible disruption to governemnt be counted as more important than correcting the problem?

Which decisions are benefitial to the long term culture of the government?

Does the government have any appreciation for the long term goals for society?

Fanta, it's time to break the chain. This sort of stress without a remedy will cause you health problems.
